Chapter Fifteen:

Love Is In the Air

Cent:

The night was beautiful and the air was fresh. Everything was silent, despite the loud noise that the city of Los Angeles usually makes.

Love is in the air.

Cent and John walked the sidewalk towards the Rice Residence. They didn't jump or even catch a cap. They were in no need to be in a hurry. They wanted to take their time.

The two lovers held hands. Fingers intertwined and the heat of from their bodies coming back and forth between them. Their shoulders were pressed against each other.

John made jokes and Cent laughed. She didn't care what he said, she enjoyed his voice. In fact, she couldn't take her eyes off of his lips. She wanted to kiss him more than anything.

It took them almost an hour to make it to her house, which she was dreading the moment they started walking up the small steps to the front door.

Once they arrived on Cent's block, John switched the conversation from his fancy jokes to something else.

John tightened his grip on her hand and said, "I had a wonderful night."

Cent smiled and looked at him.

"I had a wonderful night too," she kissed his cheek. "We should do this every night."

John smiled and replied, "Okay, how about we go to different dances all around the world. My treat. We can go every night and dance till our legs give out."

Cent laughed and punched him, playfully, on the shoulder.

"You are such a romantic," she giggled. "I guess I now know another reason I fell in love with you."

Suddenly, John stopped and pulled Cent towards him.

Cent's body came up against John's and she could feel his heart beat against hers.

John could feel her heart beat as well. It made him smile.

Cent could feel John's hands moving around her waist. She couldn't help but move her own around his neck.

They both began to breath slowly.

John titled his face and come forward.

Cent's breathing escalated and closed her eyes as her lips came into contact with John's.

The kiss was slow at first, but then it soon became fast.

Both Cent and John couldn't help but move their hands over the other. They wanted to be as close as they could possibly be. They wanted to feel everything about each other.

Cent found herself forgetting about everything around her. All she wanted was to focus everything on him and only him.

John:

John was surprised by his own actions. He couldn't believe that he had actually gave into his own desires, right out in the open. He knew he was vulnerable. Cent was making him more human again. But the weirdest thing was... he couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad thing. But he didn't care. All he cared about was her and only her.

The one thing that John had to give up after his parents died was his knowledge of having a life. It was the only way to survive against Syndicate. During the process of learning to forget everything, he almost forgot how to live like a human. He kept the kindness and the love, but he forgot how to live in peace, how to relax and to not be afraid. In a way, he was forgetting to be human. And that scared him his whole life.

Until he met the most beautiful girl in the world. Cent. He couldn't imagine life without her anymore. He wanted to be with her everyday. He knew he was deeply in love with her. He even began to believe that she was... the one. Cent had helped him realize a life without harm or danger. A life where he could live in peace.

Both Cent and John kissed for a couple of minutes before parting, but keeping each other in their arms. They pressed their foreheads against each other.

"I love you," John said with all of his heart. He moved his hand on to her cheek.

Cent:

Cent's eyes opened when she heard what he said. The words made her heart jump and her mind go spinning. Tears began to fall from her eyes.

Looking into his eyes, Cent said, "I love you too."

With that, they kissed again.

"I think I might explode into a blazing inferno," Cent chuckled and buried her face into John's chest.

John smiled and said, "Good thing I'm the fire extinguisher."

Cent laughed against his chest and looked back up at him.

"You won't leave me... right?" her voice broke up.

John frowned and said, "How can I leave you? I would die before I even considered the idea."

Cent pulled away a little bit and said, "But... what if Syndicate finds you? Or us? We would be compromised." Her face looked towards the ground.

Hey," John used the tip of his thumb to left her head back up. "No matter what, I am not going anywhere. I will always be with you. Even if I have to relocate, I will still come and see you. We do have the ability to go anywhere. So, distance is no problem. Sure, we would just have to limit our time together. But no matter what, I will never abandon you. Because I love you and you are the one. I would be a fool to let you slip between my figures."

Cent's eyes were pouring out tears.

Finally, she said, "John? Do me a huge favor."

John nodded and asked, "What can I do my love?"

Cent tightened her grip on his tuxedo and said, "Kiss me."

Without another word, John pulled her towards him and they kissed.

John:

They continued the walk back to Cent's house.

John was dreading the moment he would have to let her go. He didn't want to leave her side at all. He tightened his grip on her hand and didn't let go. He could feel her hand tightening on his also. He knew that she was feeling the exact same way too.

They walked in silence, waiting for the moment when they would arrive at the front door.

John's heart raced as they walked down the pathway towards the steps and on to the front door of the beautiful house. He could feel himself sweating as they reached the steps and finally in front of the door.

Both John and Cent turned towards each other and looked into their eyes.

Love, sadness, and happiness was inside both of their eyes.

Finally, Cent spoke up.

"Thank you," she smiled. "I really enjoyed this night. I never thought things would turn out the way they did."

John smiled back and said, "Me neither. For a minute, I thought everything was going to go downhill for us. But I'm happy that things went the opposite way of what we thought." He kissed her on the cheek. "I am so in love with you. I really am. I never thought that I could feel this way, but here we are."

Cent allowed a few tears to fall and replied, "I love you too. It all feels like something from Twilight, which I actually hate that series, but it really does feel that way."

"At least we're both equal in power," John joked.

Cent giggled.

"True," she said. "At least I don't happen to be another Bella. And the good news is that all of this is real. I can't take all of that fantasy nonsense. It ruins the old legends of the old monsters and all of that. I prefer the evil beasts."

John chuckled and leaned forward. He kissed her on the lips and pulled away.

Cent growled and waved her index finger back and forth.

"Not so fast," she teased. "I wasn't finished yet."

John rushed forward and kissed her hard on the mouth. He pushed her against the wall and held on tight to her body.

Cent didn't care. She followed his every move and kissed back. She also began to moan as she felt his lips moving from her lips to her neck. She had her hands in his hair at once, pulling him more closer to her.

After five minutes of exploring each other, they parted.

"Goodnight," John said softly and began to walk down the steps, backwards.

"Goodnight," Cent replied back.

As much as John wanted to come inside, he knew better. He ignored his heart and turned away from her.

He jump right back to his apartment and fell against the couch. He was asleep in seconds.

Cent:

Just as Cent entered the front door and silently closed it, she noticed light from the kitchen. She walked to the entrance and saw Millie at the table. She was in her robe and drinking coffee.

"Hey, mom," Cent smiled and walked forward.

Millie looked up and smiled right back. Her eyes looked tired.

"Hey, sweetheart," Millie replied and smiled. "How was the prom?"

Cent took her seat at the table and said, "It was amazing! Me and John danced and had a wonderful time together."

Millie raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, that must mean that you and him are officially a couple now, huh? I guess we will be seeing more of him around."

Cent smiled and placed her hand on top of Millie's.

"I'm in love with him," Cent blurted out.

Millie's eyes widened and her face went white.

"Come again, what?" she barely asked.

"I'm in love with him," Cent repeated. "John and I expressed our love at the prom tonight. I know that my feelings for him are true. And I know he was telling the truth about how he felt about me as well. I know it is true, mom. Nothing can change it now." She paused. "John and I will be seeing each other more often now. Maybe more than you and dad will be use to. I'm sorry if this makes you guys uncomfortable but I can't stop thinking about him. I find myself dreaming about him at night. I keep seeing him at the corners of my eyes. Not to mention the kisses that I receive from him make me feel stunned and beautiful. I love the way I feel around him."

Millie had tears of joy running down her cheeks.

"Honey," Millie said in a soft voice. "You have nothing to worry about with me and your father. I'm proud of you for recognizing your love for John. And I'm extremely happy that John feels the same too. It reminds me of David and I. The whole young love thing never gets old."

Cent smiled back and said, "Thanks mom. It really makes things more easier."

Millie winked and said, "Oh don't worry. You and John will be getting to the good part of this relationship real soon. That is when things become more easier for you. Trust me, it is inevitable."

Cent's mouth dropped.

"Ew!" she nearly squealed. "Mom, what kind of mind do you have?!"

Millie laughed and got up from the table.

"Lets go to bed," she ordered. "We can use the rest."

With that, Cent went to bed and fell asleep like a baby. She dreamt of John in a whole new way that very night.

Three days passed since the prom.

Cent was back in school on Monday morning, enjoying her day. In fact, her friends were the first to take notice of this.

During lunch, Ashley was the first to ask.

"Okay, what has happened to you?"

"Yeah, what is going on with our Cent?" Emily teased.

Cent laughed as she ate her chicken sandwich and said, "Just that I happen to be in love."

Ashley's, Emily's, and Rachel's mouths dropped.

"Say what?" Rachel was in shock.

"I am in love," Cent blurted out. "With John I mean."

Emily started bouncing up and down in her seat.

"Sweet!" she nearly yelled. "You have got to tell us everything!"

"Like for example," Ashley cuts in. "Did you guys do... it."

Cent frowned and answered, "No! Me and John haven't arrived at that part yet."

Ashley looked disappointed by her answer.

"At least you have finally found a boyfriend," Rachel said, finally coming out of the shocked state she was in.

Everyone laughed.

Cent and her friends continued the conversation through the entire lunch period.

Just as the final bell rang, Cent was out and in the hallway. She put her stuff in her locker and began to walked towards the back doors of the high school.

Cent was excited to see John again. They were to meet up at his place and hang out. And the good news was that she had no homework and her parents knew she would be out late till eight o'clock. Things were going very well for her and John now. It seemed like nothing could get in the way now.

Unfortunately, life is never that simple. And also... never that fair.

Just as Cent rushed out of the back doors and halfway down the steps, she heard a voice from behind her.

"Excuse me, ma'am," said a gentle voice.

Cent stopped and turned around. She saw a man, leaning against the concrete wall of the school. He wore a black suit and a pair of sunglasses, like the ones from the spy movies. He wore some fancy shoes too.

Cent smiled, being polite, and asked, "Yes? How can I help you?"

The man walked towards her and pulled out a badge from his pocket.

"FBI," he said in a way that made himself look like a gentleman. "I was hoping to ask you a few questions. They happen to concern a certain student who used to come to this school." He removed the sunglasses. "Just some questions about John Bale."

Cent's smile disappeared as she hear John's name. But she was also taken away by the man's eyes. Despite that he looked handsome and had a beautiful voice, his eyes were filled with a gray color and they also seemed to be filled with... evil.

Cent caught herself from staring and shook her head.

"Sorry, but who are you again?" she asked.

The man stretched out his hand and said, "FBI, ma'am. My name is Travis Shaw."

Uh oh! Main villain is on to John and Cent. Things are definitely taking a little turn for some disaster.

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
